Great to see the hard work of our local GPs praised in a recent @HW_Sutton report. The report also shows 1 in 4 people still struggle to contact their practice. I've joined @Bobby_Dean & @LukeTaylorLD to ask the local NHS how we can improve access to GP’s 👇

3/4 While Sutton town centre is well-connected, further transport improvements are vital for planned growth, especially in areas currently lacking good public transport. We stressed the need for more TfL funding to deliver this.
